The Top 5 Recessive Ball Python Morphs!

[@Dovietail]

Chris, please take this comment in the warm spirit in which it is intended. You are like the snake industry's fun drunk Uncle in all of your videos. You're in such a good, relaxed mood and just a little off kilter and goofy. Thank you for the good information, and I enjoy your videos immensely! You do a lovely job of not talking down to people, a tone many other snake breeders on KZbin would benefit from adopting!

[@TesseraCraft]

I do corn snakes, and not a fan of ball pythons, but his info is pretty good. I would never breed a ball python, but if I saw a pied I really like for a good price I may open my wallet.

[@JeffryLandry]

That Axanthic Pied is the best looking ball python I've ever seen. That beast is absolutely beautiful.

[@jonnycranepunchline]

My snake and I both love your channel ❤

[@evilspongebob6233]

Please do top 5 best co dominant morphs👏👏

[@Red-357]

That pastel dessert ghost is beautiful. Dessert ghost has such potential. But im really into the clowns at the moment. I want them all, lol. Dessert ghost, clowns, pieds... all

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Me too! I can never get enough snakes LOL

[@johncomeau66]

Awesome topic been waiting for this one

[@fliprodriguez1964]

Hey Chris I wanted to thank you i have watched you forever now and enjoy your goofy demeanor! I have watched every video you have on rats and have created my own breeding colony !! I give my credit to you! i have took all the info u gave and used it, and 2days ago I received my first litter of 12 babies! Thanks for taking the time creating all the videos I watched I appreciate it very much

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

No problem, stay tuned for more!

[@troywiegel6727]

Great content as usual Chris! Is the "Desert Ghost" the same gene as the "Ghost"? Thanks!

[@pezpythons1532]

Great video Chris! Have you ever seen the Monarch ball python? The potential is crazy and there's quite a few here in the UK but it's just too expensive for me to get into. Really impressive morph

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Yes I've seen it, wonder if it's compatible with the Ultramel? They look really close...

[@pezpythons1532]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures it would be awesome to find out! There's so many possibilities if its compatible with other bright morphs, I've seen a pair for sale on morphMarket that are het monarch and puzzle. Could be a really interesting project for someone with £3000 spare haha

[@redsound9333]

Thanks again chris 👌

[@soupajaggah4534]

Which type of Axanthic (Joliff, MP, VPI, TSK) is the best? Like is more black white and grey?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I've seen good lines in all of them.

[@aureliopinazazueta6775]

Chris, thank you very much for all the good and interesting informativo on rats breeding as well as on ball phytons, I have my own rats colony , and usted to have mice, and I want to start breeding balls, I got 3 females now and growing them. One question, I always listen that starters shoudent begin whit heads of recessives, because you obtain only normal looking babies. If I have codominant females and bred them with a recesive male, what the hatchlings will look like?? Thank s and contimuou with the good indormation!

[@jonflannery8984]

First off love your videos. Thumbs up x2 Sir. Extremely interested in your bamboo line. Female of course. Have found your content full of helpful information on BPs. Hope to soon make my first investment into a few females and have sponged your channel, MM, and WoBPs for weeks now. Keep em coming Chris! Also what is your personal opinion of what the mystery gene of Storm Trooper is? AND if I could suggest and ask you make a playlist on identifying Co/Inc Dominate genes visually? Maybe some hints and tips similar to your het marker video would be awesome.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I have no clue on that Stormtrooper. Interesting snake.

[@jonflannery8984]

Chris Hardwick that it is for sure. Whatever it is would be interesting with pied I imagine. What knowledge can you drop about genes you know of that darken highlights or patterns with age? Have you seen super pastel with TSK axanthic adults? Do they hold that crisp contrast of hatchlings? The few sub-adults seem to hold better with some blushing. And with that can you tell me do you think clown would contribute a head-stamp with a killer bee axanthic... or what could keeping the crisp contrast but being Co/Inc instead of recessive clown? Sorry for the lengthy comment but if there’s a dialogue open I could have a ton of questions. Extremely interested in what a penta recessive visual would look like and what would such a beauty be worth? Truly would be Regius.

[@GameOfMorphs]

wooooooooooo doggy that ODDG is niiiice

[@A6Legit]

Man wtf I swear I was subscribed to you and just saw that I no longer was. I noticed that with other channels recently too.

[@Dovietail]

Desert? It has certainly held its value, regardless of problems w/gene.

[@BlitzkriegStaffords]

what problems?

[@buffalophil3630]

@@BlitzkriegStaffords desert ghost is 1 snake desert is another desert ghost has no defects while desert females can't reproduce

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

The 'Desert' has fertility problems with the females, they will die if you try to breed them. And most people stay away from the gene, it's totally a different gene than the Desert Ghost. Check out Morphmarket, only 11 Desert combos and all are males: tinyurl.com/rbxzu7h I actually did a morph special on the Desert, check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5_OYqKsiKufZrc

[@cid143tij7]

Hey Chris, is it possible to homozygous for both sk and VIP axanthic? Quite a while back, VIP axanthic was favored over the sk as a cleaner and less likely to brown out. Anyway, just curious if a ball could express both versions at the same time.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I think it's possible

[@dawnmurphy403]

Wonder what would happen if you took a double het VPI & SK axanthic bred to another same double het and hit both? Since they’re not on the same allele one would think both genes would affect the appearance in diff ways. That could be quite interesting.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

Many have asked, no one has tried LOL

[@cb8604]

Is it normal for ball pythons to have a spike on the tip of their tail?

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

The tip of their tail is pretty sharp, Bobby gets me under the arm pit once in awhile LOL

[@cb8604]

@@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures Thanks Chris!

[@jadahill1591]

Hey where can I buy a African rock python from???

[@jaynecobb5207]

My main focus is recessive Gene's. So far I have albino, pied, axanthic, desert ghost and thinking about adding some clown

[@michaelross5674]

Hey chris have you ever see a ball python eat before she lays???? I thought it was a prelay shed ... She has been paring up since october she been off food she just shed .... But i tried for the hell of it she took a small rat... Is that possible?? Unless that wasn't prelay shed .... I palpated her couple weeks ago i feel eggs/ folicles

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

My Desert Ghost female is building eggs and just took a nice size rat, pretty unusual.

[@joemarcon1516]

I have a banana pied. Want to breed it for more pied visuals. I could really use any suggestions on what female to get. Just want to breed enough to pay for hobby. Buy the way love your vlog.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I'd get a pied female.

[@jasongrahamPUTTtheonly1]

Just got my first het pied female. Now need anther to go with it. In my plans for future. So have time to get what I want to go with her. Just couldn't pass her up.

[@11royals96]

So storm troopers do turn to the darkside.

I'm in the mood to say F ball pythons retics are pets. U treat those fowl u used raise the same.

You know, if you're going to disagree with someone or argue a point, a little spelling and punctuation will go a very long way. What you've said is wholly unintelligible and makes you look like both a moron and a jackass.
